so far all i saw was good feedback but the question is does it deliver for its price ? is there any QC issues ? I have no QC issues with mine. I feel 150 is fair for this, it's surprisingly big to.

Mine is being held up by showz. He claims there was an issue with LEDs the factory needed to address.

The LEDs look awesome. But the downside to them is that on the main head the eyes disappear when they aren’t on.

They never told me till I asked why it had been over a week and my order had not shipped yet. I’m in Chicago on the way home. When I get back to my computer I’ll see if I can find the message. EDIT: I guess messages disappear on showz once they are read. I can not find them.

Got my figure yesterday and I love it!
PLUS
Great painting all around. No paint bleeds. Lines are solid. That chest shield is on point son!
Great head sculpt, love how the lion jaw outlines Voltrons jaw, like a chin strap. Looks better than the SOC in my opinion
The light switches are very discreet. The light are very bright but don’t bleed into the surrounding plastic
The green and blue colors they used are beautiful!
Great articulation. Very heafty figure. You can tell right away there’s a good chunk of diecast somewhere inside. Very poseable too.
Almost no visible screws anywhere, very nice!
Nice simple packaging
CONS
No instructions on how to replace batteries nor any visible cues as to how to open this figure to get to them. I worry about battery corrosion down the line
The red and yellow used just killed this figure in my opinion. It makes it look like a cheap KO. I wish they had gone with a better option like the red on the SOC. It’s a shame really because the figure is amazing otherwise
The front legs on the Black Lion are black instead of silver. Not very noticable from the front but still a bummer.
The chest emblem is missing it’s iconic silver outlining. The shield on the SOC pops more thanks to that silver. I will probably print a silver part later to place over the existing shield

Here's a few pics. I really like the look of this figure. Very fun to play around with. my crappy cell phone pics don't do him justice. **SNIP** Thank you for sharing this. ---------------------------------------------- This finally hit the stop before my town yesterday. Was hoping it'd go out today but looks like tomorrow. Excited to have it. Been on a Mecha drought for some time.

Looks like my Green Lion wrist joint is installed upside down. While the Red Lion can bend at the wrist, I can only do so with the Green Lion by turning the head upside down.

I noticed that in Ben's review.
Kuma, I found it, pretty vague:
Factory took some time to fix light issue, still have some on the way to shipping company

I figured out how to dismantle the arm and access the battery compartment as well as fix the wrist issue. Hope this helps anyone else with the same issue. http://instagram.com/p/B1HicAlgnen

Honestly, the way I'm reading it looks as if they caught on to a problem recently and are now sending out fixed units which means those already shipped could have it. Hoping that I'm absolutely wrong.

TP Voltron Came in today. At work so haven't messed with it but looks to be missing the shield. Can anyone who has it confirm that it came inside of the box?

Shield is stored in the slot between the legs inside the styro box. Thanks. Yea that partwas totally empty. Really sucks because it came from show z and I'm assuming it'll take the same month to get a replacement part even.

Ugh that sucks. ShowZ is sold out too, so if they have to wait for manufacturer for the part will take even longer.

Phew! Guess I should've looked and confirmed especially considering I was on the site looking up my order number and getting emails to tell them about the issue. Quick lunch break snap. I pretty much agree with all assesments here but this doesn't just have thigh swivel, but hella thigh swivel?
